Atlus USA yesterday released a new character class video for Etrian Mystery Dungeon, featuring the Wanderer class specially made for this game. They’re different from the other classes – it seems they have more specialized attacks, and have skills that allow players to simply focus on moving through dungeons. Examples of these include Dig which plows through walls in front of your character, and Sudden Squall which scatters enemies about. Perhaps that will be the focal point of the Wanderer.
The #EMDMysterybox promotion continues this week. I’ll assume we all know the drill – go to Facebook or Twitter, share the Wanderer video, and let the magic happen.
It’s also worth noting that Etrian Mystery Dungeon will be supported by a free round of DLC quests in its first month after release in North America on April 7th. The DLC will later require payment to access on May 5th. This is actually the same batch of DLC that Japanese players were treated to following the early stages of Etrian Mystery Dungeon’s release, so it’s nice that those who purchase the North American version will be treated to the same content. The DLC quests are designed for players who may want more assistance easing themselves into the game, but they offer helpful rewards nonetheless. Courtesy of Gematsu, the quests are listed below, reproduced directly from this article:
- Find a Wanderer for me! Find the master chef Wanderer to unlock three new recipes for the Amber Restaurant! ($1.49)
- Find a Princess for me! Find the stray Sovereign to unlock a meal fit for a king in the Amber Restaurant! ($1.99)
- Find a Landsknecht for me! Find the adventurous Landsknecht to unlock three new recipes for the Amber Restaurant! ($1.49)
- Know the Red Pookas? Slay a Red Pooka wandering around the dungeon to receive a Golden or White potion for extra experience! ($1.99)
- Slay the Gold Guardian! Defeat an elusive Gold Guardian in the dungeon to receive a Nugget of Gold fragment for extra gold! ($1.49)
Once downloaded, the quests are available when speaking to Niralda at the Amber Restaurant. The last two are repeatable. After May 5th, the DLC quests will be priced at the levels shown at the end of each quest description shown above.
In addition to this, Atlus USA will be offering a 3DS theme for Etrian Mystery Dungeon at $0.99, available on March 31st. To get a look at the theme in action, along with the Wanderer video and its class description, continue reading.
Like to roam around around around around? Well then they should call you the Wanderer! Someone who never sheaths their sword and keeps ferrets and/or any other small animal friends hidden at all times. They’ve found that through being defeated over, and over, and over again, that survival is an absolute must. Thanks to expert studies at the school of hard knocks, they’ve learned to make their own escape route, because losing all your items in the mystery dungeons is akin to losing a part of your soul.
By the way, if you see the Wanderer with their bamboo hat tilted downward, don’t be confused. Wanderers just aren’t huge fans of talking. Maybe this is because they don’t have much to say. Or maybe they think that for some reason their ferret will do the talking for them. But you know what they ARE huge fans of? Clearing hidden paths and using skills targeted towards insects, plants, animals, and even dragons, that’s what! Oh, and rice balls. They’re fans of rice balls too.
Sounds fun! And now, the 3DS theme demo video:
